A Paddle In the Sea

The first sign of summer has this day appeared so clear the sky's blue with sun about you can feel it so very near So to the beach I did go Tshirt and shorts was my wear took off trainers and socks who's looking! I did not care I then paddled along the sea my feet was completely wet so refreshing and cool the water the time escaped like we'd never met This is such a good feeling wish it would last for ever feeling the rays of the sun all over myself like a flowing river So pray for more sunny days bright and warm is our wish all over the world this summer served up like our fav dish AUTHOR NOTES: Walking along the beach on the Scottish North Ayrshire coastline the other day, it was our first really warm sunny day of the summer, just a few thoughts on the experience.
